Christ Church, in Pill is part of an United Benefice with Easton-in-Gordano and Portbury. It can be accessed by walking along Church Walk from Station Road. The original church (above photo) sadly burned to the ground on January 16, 1941 after it was hit by an incendiary bomb during the Bristol Blitz. The church was rebuilt in a modern style and was consecrated on May 23, 1958 to allow for Christian worship.
